How to Make Hamburger Buns
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Place all the dough ingredients in your electric stand mixer bowl fitted with the dough hook. Knead the dough until soft and smooth.
Place your dough in a large, lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit at room temperature 73 - 76 degrees F to let it rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until it's nearly doubled in bulk.
Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 8 equal-sized pieces (about 125 grams each). Then, flatten it into a round, working with one piece of dough at a time. (You may want to flour your hands lightly.)
Take the edges of the dough, fold them into the center, and gently seal. Then flip your dough over so the smooth side is facing up. With the palm of your hand, rotate the ball of dough on your surface to create surface tension and seal the dough's edges.
Place the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them several inches apart. Cover, and let proof at room temperature (about 73 - 76 degrees F) 0 until nice, puffy, and almost doubled in size.
Brush the Hamburger buns with about half of the melted butter. If desired, sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds. Bake the Hamburger buns in a preheated 375 ยฐF oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden.
Remove them from the oven, and brush them with melted butter. This will give the buns a satiny, buttery crust.
Remove the Hamburger buns from the oven and place them on a wire rack for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
